Cook推出用于泌尿科手术切除电极

 
一系列用于泌尿科手术的切除电极有助于泌尿科医生提高前列腺的健康。

Cook切除电极被设计用于泌尿科手术，诸如经泌尿道前列腺切除术(TURP)和经泌尿道膀胱肿瘤切除术(TURBT)，具有出血微量、可视性增加而手术时间减少的优点。共有五种不同类型的电极供应，与所有主要品牌的切除电极兼容。

切除电极包括：手动操作、耐受高温、钨丝切除线圈；凝固穿孔前列腺切除器，比标准切除线圈的凝固面积大出40%，能够在组织切除过程中同时进行切除和凝固；一种漩涡汽化转子，比槽式转子提供更加平滑的汽化区域，同时产生深部组织凝固；一个转子球和转子滚筒，用于膀胱和前列腺软组织的凝固和汽化(转子球还可以用于子宫内膜的 消融)；一个Collings刀能够帮助泌尿科医生进入前列腺的所有区域，通常用于输尿管切除术和经尿道前列腺切开(TUIP)。这种切除电极是由Cook医疗器械公司(Bloomington, IN, USA)制造的。

Resection Electrodes Aid Urologic Surgery
 
A new line of resection electrodes for urologic procedures will enable urologists to improve prostate health.

The Cook resection electrodes are intended for urologic procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT), with minimal bleeding, increased visibility, and decreased procedure time. Five different types of electrodes, compatible with all major brands of resectoscopes, are offered.

The resection electrode types include: a hand-crafted, temperature-resistant tungsten wire-cutting loop; a coagulating perforated resector that provides a 40% greater coagulation zone than standard cutting loops and performs cutting and coagulation simultaneously during tissue resection; a dimpled vaporization roller that offers a smoother area of vaporization than a grooved roller while providing deep-tissue coagulation; a roller ball and roller barrel, which are used for coagulation and ablation of soft tissue in the bladder and prostate (the roller ball may also be used for endometrial ablation in the uterus); and a Collings knife that allows urologists access to all areas of the prostate and is most commonly used for ureteral meatotomy and transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP). The resection electrodes are made by Cook Medical (Bloomington, IN, USA).
